pottering about

watched the new potter movie. hopefully it will be the last ... there is such a thing as too much of a good thing i suppose ... the end of the movie looked somewhat contrived ... a little as though someone was working against the constraints created by matrix-III ... or maybe I have too much matrix on my mind. i don't intend to give the end away .. hence no spoiler warning...

otherwise a pleasant weekend... about as pleasant as they get these days ... a little short on food and sleep ... the rest was okay. but then isn't a weekend supposed to be about food and sleep? so perhaps, it wasn't all that okay after all. will need to work on that.

not much to say. unless it is to say that somehow, a chilly plant has grown in my back yard and it has actually started producing chillies ... somehow quite delightful to see it against the backdrop of the closely clustered houses.

after watching a program on nat geo, I now realize that the spiders that infest my house are perhaps more exotic and varied than I believe them to be ... which also brings forth the thought that it may not be good to be bitten by one of them ...

I guess the creator of spiderman wanted him to look good - which is why on 70mm or whatever - he spins his web from his wrists ... but then should such a transformation actually occur in real life, what are the chances that spiderman will have his spinnerets where most of the real spiders have them??? (uggghhh!!!)
(can't help wondering how many takers will be there for watching spiderman 4 if this subtle change were to be made ... I suspect spiderman 3 pretty much originated thereabouts so it shouldn't really be a big change anyway)

... this post is going places where it shouldn't be going :D

hyperactive imagination early in the week - accentuated by the aforementioned lack of food and sleep no doubt! ... have a good week ahead!

darn! just remembered another observation from the previous spiderman movie when his girlfriend gets to know that peter parker is the spiderman ... at this melancholy moment suddenly sirens can be heard in the background ... peter looks up with his large baleful eyes ... like a spaniel ... as if seeking permission to leave ... while also expressing his helplessness in case she isn't too okay with him going off ... and she says ... yeah try and beat this ... she says ... "go get 'em tiger"!

so now shouldn't the new jingle be ...
"tigerman! tigerman! ... at the scene. of a crime... he arrives. just in time ... "

And talk about being delusional ... fall for a spider and imagine it to be a tiger! honey were you thinking of tarzan in his leotards (and even those are spotted not striped!)???
